Two years ago, I ran for this office because — like many of you — I believed we needed a positive change in the Texas House.
We have worked to restore balance and fairness at the State Capitol while improving our public schools, expanding access to affordable health care, lowering property taxes, and protecting the quality of the air our families breathe.
But there’s still a lot more to do. And one of the major challenges facing us is finding a way to make our insurance system more effective and affordable. Why insurance? Well, as I argue in last month’s Westlake Picayune column:
Three reasons. First, because Texas homeowners continue to pay more than twice the national average to protect their homes even as they watch the equity value of those homes slip in the current economy, with no end in sight. Second, because the Texas Department of Insurance is up for Sunset this year. Third, because the pressing issue of how to bolster our unstable windstorm insurance system was not resolved during the last legislative session.
